Review on Effortlessly Craft Homemade Jam and Jelly with the Ball freshTECH Automatic Maker in Silver by Lauren Naomi

This is a high quality jam and jelly maker. Teflon is easy to clean. That makes just under two liters, so I prepare several smaller jars and several liter jars at a time. I have two units for better performance. I've never been able to make good jam and I love homemade jam and jelly. I was visiting a friend who has one and she let me make a batch of apricot jam. So easy! I prepare fruit, put the prescribed pectin in the device, cover with fruit, put 2 tons of lemon and 1/4 tsp. Butter and press "Jam" "Enter". The machine will stir the mixture for about 4 minutes and beep. Then I add sugar, agave or honey (agave and honey according to the online offer in exchange for the amount of sugar specified in the recipe). For milder sweeteners, after 4 beeps, I mix the fruit/pectin/sweetener very well with a soft spatula, running the spatula along the bottom and edges THEN cover with a lid. (Honey or agave will stick and burn at the bottom of the pot if I don't mix it well with the fruit.) If sugar is used, the mixture does not need to be stirred. After about 17 minutes I have jam. When using honey or agave, because of their thinner consistency than sugar, I use Ball's RealFruit Low or No-Sugar Needed Pectin and add ONE EXTRA TABLESPoon more than Ball's recipe in the book suggests. Recipes, and if you want or need to eat honey or agave instead of sugar, feel free to experiment like I did. What I said about agave and honey worked for me. I also like to add a whole orange with apricots or peaches to the recipe. I simply add a quartered sea orange with a couple of pitted apricots to the quisenart and whisk until desired consistency. What a taste explosion! I've even made wine jelly or added wine to a fruit recipe. Locally, this jam and jelly maker costs $100. I think Revain is great value for money. :)
